I was working on the story and he just came out and said it

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

Ut oh. Yesterday I reported that just 18% of the cases against people arrested September 27-28 at Broadview in Chicago had survived. Make that 9% -- they just moved to dismiss another case. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/08/g...

NEWS: The Epstein Survivors' press conference yesterday was postponed. New date TBD.

FYI: "Antifa" just means "democrats." From 9 months ago:

The best way to honor someone who claimed to stand for free speech, is to force speech on others by the way of threats and punishment.

The loyalty purge continues. This week, FBI Director Kash Patel dismissed two longtime agents who had previously worked with Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led the federal investigations into Trump. Both agents had strong performance records, and no official reason was provided for their removal.

The way sports fans use the royal "we" should be studied. Like what do you mean, "we won"? You were on the couch drinking and eating snacks the whole time. You were not even in the stadium, my dude. Why are you proud? Lingering post-tribal weirdness.

Jimmy Kimmel returns with unfinished business over Trump’s birthday letter to Epstein

Anyone have any heartwarming stories of how tax breaks and government subsidies for billionaires made your life better?

Monet’s Poplars series almost didn’t happen because the trees were about to be cut down. So he purchased them until he finished painting, then sold them back.

A truly bizarre spectacle of lies, pandering, groupthink, collective delusion, and paranoia - mass derangement all around. They’re inventing an entire alternate reality together, like a game of D&D for morons, with a barely cognizant Trump as the dungeon master.

On this day in 2009, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. On this day in 2025, President Trump didn't.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi." The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Fox News must hate Stephen Miller as much as the rest of us because why would they make him sit and watch AOC call him 4 foot 10 otherwise.

Translation: “We’re going to fix your car by setting it on fire and giving you a scooter.”

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Am I reading this right? Did Trump say he took freedom of speech away?

Bluesky is basically a public record of your mental breakdown

The American president ordering the invasion of American cities sounds like a civil war and treason to me, but what do I know.

Let's focus on Steven Millers slip up on CNN. Who the hell does he think he is? Plenary?Plenary authority? No Steven Miller, Wrong again!! No! You do not plenary authority to harm the American Public. It is cruel and illegal. You do not have the executive power to overthrow our own government

Back in federal judge Sara Ellis' courtroom in Chicago for a second day of discussion on a proposed restraining order to rein in federal immigration agents' violent behavior. Debate began on this issue on Monday, and ended without the court entering a formal order.
